There was a time when you could root an Android phone to install a custom OS by visiting a website that exploited a vulnerability. It's reasonable to assume that's not the only vulnerability of its kind.
- nikanj 5y agoYou probably still can, unless the Android phone was made in the last 2-3 years. Android manufacturers are absolutely dismal when it comes to security updates, few devices get good support for the 5+ years a smartphone is actually used
